Microsoft GitHub Embraces Dev Video

May 26, 2021

How easy will it be for frisky developers and programmers to surf on Microsoft GitHub’s new video feature? My hunch is that it will be pretty easy. The news of this Amazon and YouTube type innovation appears in “Video Uploads Now Available across GitHub.”

The write up states:

At GitHub, we’ve utilized video to more concisely detail complex workflows, show our teammates where we’re blocked, and inspire our colleagues with the next big idea. Today, we’re announcing that the ability to upload video is generally available for everyone across GitHub. Now you can upload .mp4 and .mov files in issues, pull requests, discussions, and more.

A number of video sites present fascinating technical information. Some of those videos include helpful pointers to even more interesting content. Here’s an example of a screenshot I made from a YouTube video:

The video’s title is “How to Get Sony Vegas Prog 18 for Free *2021* Permanent Activation Pack.” Other services offer similar technical work flow videos.

GitHub is a go to resource for a wide range of content, including penetration testing software similar to that used by some bad actors.

But video is hot, and Microsoft is going for it.
